Definitions
- the present application is related to U.S. Patent Application No. 15/430,254 entitled Drilling Machine, filed February 10, 2017 and assigned to the same assignee as the present application.
- the present application is also related to: the concurrently filed U.S. Patent Application entitled “Polycrystalline Diamond Radial Bearing”; the concurrently filed U.S. Patent Application “Cam Follower with Polycrystalline Diamond Engagement Element”; and the concurrently filed U.S. Patent Application entitled “Polycrystalline Diamond Thrust Bearing and Element Thereof', each of which is assigned to the same assignee.
- the present disclosure relates to roller ball assemblies, apparatus and systems including the same, and methods of making, assembling, and using the same.
- Roller ball assemblies also known as transfer ball bearings
- transfer ball bearings are employed extensively in material handling and equipment applications.
- Such applications include but are not limited to: equal load distribution, aerospace & air cargo applications, die-handling, metal manufacturing & fabrication, caster substitution, medical technologies & devices, industrial robotics, downhole drilling tools, downhole wireline operations, downhole coiled tubing operations, downhole completions, military logistics, measuring equipment, guides for small linear motion ( e.g., photo copier slides), and transfer of material in clean rooms.
- Roller ball assemblies typically include a primary ball supported by a multiplicity of smaller ball bearings in a containing cup. Typical comparative sizes are 1" (25.4 mm), or 1-1/4" (25.4-6.35 mm), or 1-1/2" (25.4-12.7 mm) diameter for the primary roller ball and 1/8" (3.175 mm) diameter for the support balls. Over time, the primary roller ball and especially the support balls are subject to point loading, surface spalling, corrosion, and fatigue loading, leading to failure of the roller ball assembly. Some precision applications employ primary balls as small as 4.8 mm and appropriately reduced diameter support balls.
- Figure 1 depicts a cross-sectional view of a typical roller ball assembly 100 of the prior art.
- primary roller ball 101 is supported by a series of small steel balls 103 within shaped steel cup 102.
- Primary steel roller ball 101 is retained by cap 105.
- Assembly 100 also includes small weep holes 104 for clearing liquid or minor debris.
- Some assemblies do not employ smaller ball bearings as support for the primary roller ball, but rather use a direct engagement with a cup surface.
- these designs have, in some instances, used coatings or lubricants, which require seals, or alternative roller ball materials, such as silicon nitride, tungsten carbide, silicon carbide, or ceramics. Even when coatings or alternative roller ball materials are used, the increased surface contact area of the roller ball with the cup surface increases the coefficient of friction and reduces the free rolling capability of the roller ball.
- roller ball bearing assemblies Information on roller ball bearing assemblies can be found in the "Hudson Bearings Air Cargo Roller Ball Transfers", an undated eight-page brochure, as well as in “Hudson Bearings Air Cargo Roller Ball Transfers Installation and Maintenance Protocols", an undated five-page brochure, both of which are available from the Hudson Bearings website ( http://www.hudsonbearings.com) . Of note from these brochures are the 850 lbs. (3781 N) maximum load capacity rating and 400 0 F (204 0 C or about 478,000 K) maximum temperature range for heavy duty transfer roller ball assemblies.
- US 3 132 904 A discloses a device for rollably supporting a ball which includes at least three spaced-apart thrust races cooperable to support the ball and each supported on the underside by an appropriate number of minor balls, said thrust races being arranged so as to supportingly contact the peripheral surface of the lower half of the ball at regular intervals, the points of contact of said thrust races with the ball being offset in the same direction by the same distance relative to the respective axes of rotation of said thrust races.
- a moving device as a central member for the use of home transport, the movement and guidance of flat goods, cardboard boxes and containers or the movement of objects of all kinds on underground surfaces, consisting of a ball and a ball cage body, characterised in that, that the surface of the ball is not smooth, but has a structure with recesses/dimples; that the recesses are separated by webs; that the ball cage body is provided in the ball receiving space with a specific ball running surface and optionally with a braking shoulder; and that the skirt is an integral component of the ball cage body.
- US 4 382 637 A discloses a weight transfer roller apparatus including a barrel type housing formed on one extremity with a radially inwardly projecting retaining flange forming a circular protrusion opening.
- a roller ball is received within the bore of such barrel, has one side projecting from such opening, and has its opposite side nested on an annular high lubricity plastic ring formed with a bearing seat defining a sector of a sphere corresponding with the spherical roller.
- the annular bearing ring rests on a retainer secured to each housing whereby the housing may be mounted in a weight transfer platform and loads passing thereover will weight downwardly on such ball to be carried by the bearing ring.
- the ball, annular bearing ring, and retainer are telescopically received in the bore of the barrel with the retainer being selectively removable for removal of the bearing and ball for replacement thereof upon deterioration or damage.
- JP S60 61404 A discloses a bearing unit with enhanced durability to eliminate the necessity of maintenance, in which a large diameter ball is set on the inner wall of a unit casing through the intermediary of small diameter balls. The large diameter ball is exposed in part from the lid fitted to the unit casing, through a hole in the lid. All balls may be made of silicon carbide.
- a roller ball assembly comprising: a primary roller ball having an outer engagement surface; a cup defining a cavity; at least one support element having an opposing engagement surface and comprising a superhard material, wherein the superhard material comprises polycrystalline diamond; wherein the at least one support element is positioned within the cavity and coupled with the cup; and wherein the primary roller ball is positioned within the cup and supported on the at least one support element such that the outer engagement surface is in sliding contact with the opposing engagement surface comprising the superhard material.
- a method of supporting a primary roller ball of a roller ball assembly comprising: positioning at least one support element within a cavity of a cup and coupling the at least one support element with the cup, wherein each support element has an opposing engagement surface and comprises a superhard material, wherein the superhard material comprises polycrystalline diamond; positioning the primary roller ball within the cavity such that an outer engagement surface of the primary roller ball is in sliding contact with the opposing engagement surface of the at least one support element; and positioning a cap relative to the cup such that the cap is positioned to retain the primary roller ball within the cavity.
- roller ball assemblies apparatus including roller ball assemblies, systems including roller ball assemblies, methods of making roller ball assemblies, methods of assembling roller ball assemblies, and methods of using roller ball assemblies.
- the technology of this application provides for a high-performance roller ball assembly with a moving part (optionally a single moving part), in particular a primary roller ball, supported on at least one so called “superhard” component or element (i.e., a component composed of a "superhard material”).
- superhard materials are a category of materials defined by the hardness of the material, which may be determined in accordance with the Brinell, Rockwell, Knoop and/or Vickers scales.
- superhard materials include materials with a hardness value exceeding 40 gigapascals (GPa) when measured by the Vickers hardness test.
- a Brinell scale test may be performed, for example, in accordance with ASTM E10-14; the Vickers hardness test may be performed, for example, in accordance with ASTM E384; the Rockwell hardness test may be performed, for example, in accordance with ASTM E18; and the Knoop hardness test may be performed, for example, in accordance with ASTM E384.
- the "superhard materials" disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, polycrystalline diamond.
- aspects of the present disclosure include employing discrete superhard elements to support a roller ball.
- the need for small diameter support balls in a roller ball assembly is eliminated.
- at least some of the roller ball assemblies disclosed herein lack ( i.e., do not include) small diameter support balls.
- the roller ball assemblies disclosed herein have a higher load bearing capacity, higher temperature capacity, are more durable, are more corrosion resistant, are smoother running, and have a greater capacity for the passing of contaminants and larger debris from the working area of the assembly in comparison to existing roller ball assemblies.
- roller ball assemblies disclosed herein "self-clean" any corrosion on the primary roller ball.
- existing corrosion on the primary roller ball may be at least partially removed therefrom via the frictional forces resulting from the engagement between the surfaces of the primary roller ball and the polycrystalline diamond elements. That is, the polycrystalline diamond elements clean, sweep, or rub off at least some of the corroded material of the primary roller ball.
- roller ball assemblies such as is shown in FIG. 1 include primary roller balls that "roll” on other, small roller balls, which do not function to remove corroded material from the primary roller ball.
- the technology of this application includes a roller ball assembly suitable for application in harsh environments (e.g ., downhole environments).
- the technology of this application includes a roller ball assembly capable of application in downhole drilling applications in the mitigation of torque and drag.

- Figure 2 sets forth the steps of the testing performed, which included: supporting a single 1-1/2" (25.4-12.7 mm) high-carbon steel roller ball on three polycrystalline diamond (PDC) elements, box 290; deploying the supported roller ball in a steel cup, box 291; subjecting the deployed roller ball to 20 hours of rotating test under 700 lbf of load, box 292; and assessing wear roller ball and PDC elements, box 293.
- PDC polycrystalline diamond
- FIG. 3-8 various exemplary roller ball assemblies and aspects thereof will now be described.
- like reference numerals refer to like elements.
- an exemplary cup is identified with reference numeral "302" in FIG. 3 and is identified with reference numeral "402" in Figure 4 .
- FIG 3 is a side view of a roller ball assembly 300 in accordance with an embodiment of the present application.
- roller ball 301 is supported within cup 302 (cup body) via support elements 303.
- Each support element 303 is formed of a superhard material.
- Roller ball 301 may be formed of any of a variety of materials including, but not limited to, steel.
- roller ball 301 is supported by support elements 303 via contact between roller ball outer surface 320 (also referred to as engagement surface) and support element surfaces 322 (also referred to as opposing engagement surfaces).
- Primary roller ball 301 is clear of (i.e., not in contact with) cup 302.
- Support elements 303 are attached to, embedded within, or otherwise affixed to and/or coupled with or within cup 302. In contrast to small support roller balls, such as is shown in Figure 1 , support elements 303 are static relative to cup 302. In operation, primary roller ball 301 moves in sliding contact with support elements 303.
- Cup 302 also referred to as "shaped cup", has a shape that defines a cavity 350 configured to receive roller ball 301 therein, and to allow rolling of roller ball 301 therein.
- Cup 302 may be formed on any of a variety of materials including, but not limited to, steel.
- Assembly 300 includes cap 305.
- Cap 305 is positioned relative to cup 302 to retain primary roller ball 301 within cup 302.
- Cap 305 is engaged and/or coupled ( e.g ., affixed) with cup 302 at top end 332 of cup 302.
- Cap 305 has a curvature 340 sufficient to retain roller ball 301 within cup 302 such that, in operation, roller ball 301 is supported via support elements 303 and freely rolls within cup 302 while being retained therein by cap 305.
- Cap 305 is clear of ( i.e., not in contact with) primary roller ball 301.
- Cap 305 may be formed on any of a variety of materials including, but not limited to, steel.
- Cap 305 may be, for example, in the form of a retainer ring.
- Assembly 300 includes debris clearance hole 304 positioned at the bottom end 330 of cup 302.
- Hole 304 may be sized and arranged for clearance of large debris from cup 302.

- the coefficient of friction (CoF) of the engagement between the primary roller ball and the PDC elements remains constant or substantially constant over relatively long terms of use, as the assembly does not rely on use of small roller balls (e.g., as shown in FIG. 1 ), which are subject to degradation that affects the CoF.
- the superhard components are also capable of higher loading than existing small diameter support roller balls.
- the retaining caps or rings may be held in place on the respective cup of the roller ball assembly via methods known in the art including, but not limited to, one or more snap rings, gluing, threading, welding, brazing, or press fitting the cap or ring to the cup.
